Return to Myself

Take a breath, come back inside Step away from the noise outside I'm not the woman lost in delay Or longing that pulls my heart away I'm the strength of what I can see The light that's living inside of me No more chasing a blurred out truth I was always the proof I remember now Who I am I remember now Where I stand I return to myself tonight Calling my power back to life From confusion, fear, and fantasy Every piece returns to me I don't beg a world to choose I choose myself and the path I use My ground, my voice, my sovereignty I return to myself I return to me (oh me) I return to me (oh me) I remember my standards now A quiet strength in standing proud My softness isn't weakness here My boundaries don't come from fear I am the tone my life will play The rhythm guiding every day My body, wisdom, beauty, truth My vision breaking through I remember now Who I am I remember now Where I stand I return to myself tonight Calling my power back to life From projection, grief, and doubt Every piece I scattered out I don't beg a world to see The woman I was born to be My ground, my voice, my sovereignty I return to myself I return to me (oh me) I return to me (oh me) She is grounded, she is free Soft as water, strong and sea Magnetic without chasing, power without display A spirit rooted deeper than what takes away As the water moves my feet I dance the life I'm meant to meet And what is beneath me falls away I choose myself again today I'm no longer giving myself away To anything asking me to betray The woman that's inside of me With standards, beauty, dignity My energy belongs to heaven To every dream you wait instead I don't shrink, I refine I don't chase, I choose what's mine I don't wait to be remembered I am body who I am Take a breath, come back again Beneath the noise you've always known Who you are
